Compression Molding

By Tim A. Osswald and Bruce A. Davis

This book not only covers the advantages and disadvantages of molding operations with SMC/ BMC (thermosetting) and GMT/ LFT (thermoplastic) materials but also provides the reader with relatively simple models for monitoring, troubleshooting, and quality control of their process. Also covered is the important role of fiber reinforcement--how the quantity, length and fiber orientation influence part strength and stiffness.
